I mentioned the other day that I have very little time to craft these days. I do make time for my monthly swap and I absolutely make time for my customer appreciation cards! I really like the card I made for July. It is really simple, but I think it's a WOW just the same. I was sad when the Itty Bitty Accents punches retired -- my go-to flower was in that set. However, the Tree Builder has the perfect replacement for small flowers!!!

I have to say that I'm not sure when my life will ever get back to "normal"! Or perhaps the craziness that is currently my life is my new "normal". My daughter has gone back to school full-time (although she is taking online courses) and I am now a full-time Nana. I'm so proud of her for going back to school. It's so important for her to complete her education so she can provide a good life for her daughter. That being said, I forgot how much time it takes to look after a newborn! I mean, really, all they do is eat, sleep and poo, right? Well, our little love bug is awake more often than not these days, which means Nana does not have a lot of time to herself :)

I do make time to participate in my monthly swap, though! For July, I decided to use as much new product from the 2016-2017 Idea Book & Catalog as I could. I really love the Exclusive Host set Love You Lots located on Page 199. It is so cute and whimsical, which is not usually my style, but I guess I've gotten a little "softer" since the birth of my sweet granddaughter. I used a Mojo Monday Sketch, but wouldn't you know it, I cannot lay my hands on my printout! If I find it, which I hope I do, I will update you with the sketch number. Without further adieu:

I have been SO behind on posting﻿. Today I am sharing the card I made for my monthly swap in June! I know, I know, it's August! I'm telling you, this Nana thing takes up ALL my time. And you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way. I am so enjoying my daughter's little girl. Time is going very fast.

Anyway, on to the card! I used the super fun Foxy Friends stamp set and the new Dapper Denim 2016-2018 In Color. It's really hard to pick a favorite. I really, really love Sweet Sugarplum (because purple is my favorite color), but in all honesty, I love ALL of the new In Colors! And this stamp set. Oh my goodness ... so many possibilities! And how can you go wrong when there is a matching punch? No fussy cutting for these cute little critters! Hope you enjoy today's card!
